I'm so sick of myself. Gonna go pretend I'm the main character of a fantasy novel and not a shy mentally ill bitch with no friends.
forever saying thank you to Erin Morgenstern for this soul read in The Starless Sea:
“he doesn’t say what he is thinking which is that his church is held-breath story listening and late-night-concert ear-ringing rapture and perfect-boss fight-button pressing. That his religion is buttered in the silence of freshly fallen snow, in a carefully crafted cocktail, in between the pages of a book somewhere after the beginning but before the end.”
it’s just me and my secret, carefully organized pinterest board of my hyper-fixations from over the years, against the world.
listen i am extremely self aware of how gay i am,
that being said,
✨rainforest tree frogs✨
Maybe you aren’t annoying, maybe they were just annoyed. Maybe your entire personality can’t be boiled down to actions others found disruptive. Maybe peoples feelings are subjective views of you, not objective. The same way we teach kids to say “I feel angry when you do this thing” instead of “you made me angry!” maybe you should consider that people, due to their own personal beliefs about social interaction, felt annoyed in response to your actions but that that doesn’t necessarily mean you did something bad or are something bad. And while its sweet that you want to make sure people don’t have negative feelings, there’s a lot of humans in this world and we’re always going to be stepping on each others toes so maybe don’t let people feeling annoyed with you define you.
i have gone to bed sobbing bc of school, while watching the spider wick chronicles at precisely 3am, every day of Feburary 2021.
and that is on, untreated mental illness.
head empty. head REALLY empty. i have aphantasia.
my personality is so manufactured. i own none of it. my handwriting comes from the girl i sat next to in fourth grade, my sense of humor comes from my best friend in third grade, the way i sit comes from the lead character in a movie i once watched, the way i type comes from one of my classmates in sixth grade.... am i not allowed to have something to myself? am i not allowed to be someone?
I have the worst phobia of snakes and as a child, i started hyperfixating on snakes.
my existence is my own enemy.
You are allowed
nay, encouraged to…
buy books you’ll never read
abandon books halfway through
read your favorites over and over again
read ‘easy’ books
read books you don’t totally understand
just look at the pictures
start in the middle
take notes
break spines
read the book after you saw the movie
skip the boring parts
keep books out of sentiment
bring a book everywhere
read comics
return books to the library unread
The point, my dear reader, is joy.
just thinking of how our meaning or purpose in life is merely to experience. eating an orange segment, hoping for snow, being in love, returning over and over to one painting, stepping outside for the full moon, submersion in water, having a favourite colour, knowing beauty, feeling alone, feeling connected, feeling longing… it is enough.
i dont need my purse, which has my headphones and other lies my neurodivergent brain tells me.
Awesamdude is chaotic good. I refuse criticism. it’s simply: facts.
BRB jus hyperfixating on Awesamdude’s dream smp lore.
“But I think the most important thing is kindness. If you’re not kind, the rest doesn’t matter.”

brb gonna go read classics and annotate gay themes.
A reminder that turning in assignments for partial credit is better than not turning them in at all. It is. Even if you think you’ve done a bad job and are ashamed of your work, or it’s way overdue, you take whatever you can get. Partial credit dramatically improves your grade over a zero, and I’m always astounded by how often even the smartest kids don’t really comprehend that. 60% is worlds better than 0%. Even 10% is going to help you. Letter grades are misleading and are not created equal. “F"s are mathematically valuable. Turn that late assignment in.
You're allowed to romanticize life. Every little stir of your coffee, every sip of your tea. The sounds of leaves and snow crunching under your shoes, and the way your breath curls through the air when it's cold. Life is beautiful, never forget.
My mom rlly drove me to school one time only for me to forget the folder with all my VERY MUCH NEEDED registration forms and then drove me home to get them, only for me to FORGET THEM AGAIN and have to drive all the way home a second time.
how am i just now getting diagnosed w/ adhd???!?
You know what I'm just learning, and I don't know who else needs to hear this but
it's not cheating to make things manageable for yourself
I'm very dyslexic but I love baking, and packet mixes have become my best friend, it's less reading, and less measuring ingredients and I know the end result will taste good.
I know the instructions for my favourite from memory and it makes it so much less stressful for me to enjoy something I love to do!
It's not cheating to wear slip on shoes if you can't manage laces, it's not cheating to try out a bus route before you have to go somewhere new for the first time, it's not cheating to look up the menu for a restaurant before you go out to eat.
make things easier for yourself, you deserve to be able to live your life and do whatever you need to, to make it manageable
Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.
